WHAT TO EXPECT
Guided Walking Tour
Hop aboard our “Sugar Shuttle” and meander about 10 minutes on our tractor-pulled wagon through meadow and farmland. Disembark at the entrance to our forest and follow your expert guide on an interactive, 45 minute walking tour to learn all about…
- The Sugar Maple Tree
- The Native Camp
- The Pioneer Camp
- The Flat Pan Station
- and more!
💭 Be sure to ask your guide any maple-related questions that come to mind!
Maple Taffy on Snow
Possibly the best part of the entire tour✨
Taffy on snow is a Canadian rite of passage. Line up as we heat our maple syrup in a cast iron pot over an open flame. Breathe in the deep, rich aroma of Pure Maple Syrup, steaming from the pot as it transforms into warm, oozy taffy.
Licking the finished, soft, amber candy off its stick is arguably the best part of your visit to the farm.
Get Involved!
After your guided tour and maple taffy treat, spend as much time as you like exploring the rest of the forest!
- Cross-Cut Saw and Branded Log Coin (the essential souvenir!)
- Tap a Tree
- Sap Line Maze
- Sap Collection Station
- Measure your wingspan (a classic photo op 📸)
- and more!
The Sugar Shack
Be sure to stop into our Sugar Shack at some point during your visit. If the weather is right, you can watch as our sugar-makers boiling sap into maple syrup — it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
